Stars Present Assembly
This week the Stars class presented assembly where we talked about being ‘included’ and included other classes by asking them to vote for their favourite song to dance to at the end. The Proclaimers, ‘500 Miles’, was the winning song. We also enjoyed a colour treasure hunt in the garden and had a wonderful sensory experience exploring chocolate ‘Angel Delight’.

Exploring Foods with Seeds
The Moonbeams were successful learners this week as they explored foods with seeds. They cut and tore a variety of fruit and vegetables to find seeds and discover their size and texture. The children used magnifying glasses to get a closer look at the smaller seeds. The Moonbeams really enjoyed this messy lesson.

Pizza Fractions!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Bluebells class enjoyed making some playdoh pizzas (similar to the pizza we seen falling from the sky in our theme film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”).
Once our pizzas were created, we pretended to share them with some customers. We used cutting tools and practised cutting the pizza into halves and quarters.

The Bluebells class were very successful on a 2D shape hunt around the school where they had to find 16 hidden colourful shapes. We all worked together and managed to find their hiding places.
